Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1950, the property has received some exterior updates including double-paned windows, a newer roof, and fresh exterior paint. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathroom, is severely outdated. The kitchen features very old appliances, dated cabinets, laminate countertops, and vinyl flooring. The bathroom exhibits 1950s/60s-era yellow and dark red/brown wall tiles, an older vanity, and dated fixtures. These critical interior spaces require substantial renovation and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort, outweighing the exterior improvements and placing the overall condition in the 'Poor' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated directly off West Cliff Drive, across from Beach Hill, and in close proximity to the Santa Cruz Wharf, Boardwalk, and Downtown, offering unparalleled access to amenities and attractions.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a duplex with two 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units, it provides immediate rental income potential, making it an attractive investment property or a flexible living arrangement.
Significant Capital Improvements: Recent updates including double-paned windows, a newer roof, and fresh exterior paint enhance the property's condition and reduce the need for immediate major repairs.
Ocean View Appeal: The property offers 'peaks of ocean' views from the front porch, adding a desirable coastal aesthetic and contributing to its overall value.
Unique Expansion Opportunity: The availability of an adjacent single-family home and vacant lot for separate purchase presents a rare chance to acquire a larger contiguous parcel for future development, expansion, or a substantial family estate.
Cons
Occupancy Constraints: The instruction 'Do not disturb occupants' indicates potential difficulties with property access for showings, inspections, and could imply existing tenant leases or relations that might complicate the sale or future use.
Partial Ocean View: The description 'peaks of ocean' suggests a limited or obstructed view rather than a full, panoramic ocean vista, which might not fully satisfy buyers seeking an unobstructed coastal outlook.
Extended Market Time: With 155 days on the market, the property has experienced a prolonged listing period, which could signal previous challenges with pricing, perceived value, or other undisclosed factors, despite its current 'Active Under Contract' status.
